Lao Te glanced at him with his cloudy old eyes and began to lower his head and smoke.
The smoke rings rose one by one, and Lao Te's breath gradually became evener. He rubbed his fingers, as if to hint at something.
Ani could only throw all the gold coins he had grabbed to the greedy farmer.
"Well..." Lao Te weighed the gold coins in his hand and smiled kindly: "What you said is possible. For example..."
"Bang!"
Before Lao Te finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the door.
The leader in charge of vigilance, Hetos, kicked open the door and rushed in. The moment they saw him, Aini and Flora knew that the enemy was coming.
"——It's Su Mingan here! Grab Lao Te and run!" Flora shouted.
"Crash -" The glass shattered, Aini and Flora climbed over the window and fled towards the farmland.
"Click."
The door lock fell to the ground, and Su Mingan walked in through the door. I happened to see Aini and his group running away in a hurry. He originally just wanted to find the farmer Lao Te to get the second stone, but he happened to bump into Aini and the others.
Inside the villa is a splendid hall. The farmer knows how to enjoy himself. The decoration in the villa is quite luxurious and modern, which is incompatible with the processing factories outside.
Su Ming'an stretched out his hand, and a black energy climbed up his arm and turned into an extremely long knife. In a previous search, he obtained a prop "Ghost Sword" exclusive to the ghost of Jiu Shen. As long as this thing hits someone from a distance, it can cause high damage. It is a prop that extends the attack distance.
He rushed towards the corridor quickly, and Aini and Flora had already broken the window and spilled broken glass on the floor.
"Wait, please slow down..." Xiboer couldn't keep up. She was left far behind and it was difficult to climb up the window.
Su Ming'an didn't mean to wait for her, and jumped over by holding on to the window edge.
Flora in front looked back while running. When she met Su Mingan's gaze, her face turned pale.
"...It is indeed Su Ming'an, run!" She pulled Aini and ran.
Even if they are weakened by half, Aini and Flora are not slow, and their agility points are not low. Su Mingan would definitely not be able to keep up when running normally.
But more than an hour had passed since Iyuki Junko's death, and he had to take action at least once to avoid arousing suspicion.
He raised his hand symbolically, aimed at the gap between the two running men, and deliberately slashed at the gap——
This knife was deliberately empty, just to give Flora and the others a chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, Flora tilted her foot at this moment and unexpectedly took a step in the direction of Aini, right in front of the blade.
...It's really better to catch well than to play well.
"Pfft!" There was a sound of a blade entering flesh, blood exploded, and Flora grunted as her back was severely slashed.
"Flora!" Aini was shocked. He knew that Su Mingan's strength had been increased five times, and the damage would definitely kill them. Even if Flora had just activated her strongest life-saving skill, which could forcibly reduce the damage by a thousand points, she would still be hacked to death...
……Um?
Ani was stunned when he looked at Flora who still hadn't fallen down.
Even though her health bar was only a little bit low, she wasn't dead yet.
Ani vaguely sensed something was wrong... Why wasn't Flora killed instantly?
He turned around and saw that Su Ming'an was still walking slowly, not as fast as expected.
"Wait, Flora..." Aini said, "There seems to be something wrong."
"Run! This must be Su Ming'an's plan!" Flora vomited blood. She took an injection and barely maintained her ability to move: "——He just deliberately didn't kill me to lure you back!"
Sure enough, as Aini's pace slowed down, Su Mingan raised the long knife again, with the blade facing him.
Under the night, the long knife surging with strange energy looked particularly terrifying, as if countless ghosts were stretching out their hands of death towards him.
Aini didn't doubt his presence and immediately ran away.
"Flora, go and stop him," he shouted.
"I'm not going." Flora raised her eyebrows.
"Go, don't walk side by side with me!"
"Why don't you go?"
"you go."
"you go!"
"you go!"
"you……"
After arguing for a while, Flora asked her guide Rafael to stand behind.
Raphael is a "charmer" who is good at manipulating others through their minds, but after taking a look at Su Mingan, he realized that the other person's mental power was not inferior to his. He swung his sword directly and slashed in the direction of Su Ming'an.
The majestic pink energy overflowed from Raphael's sword and turned into a pure impact. Su Mingan, who was running, immediately slashed out a knife and connected with it.
The pink and black energy connected, but the pink energy passed directly past the long knife and rushed straight towards him.
"Wow——"
Su Mingan was forced to take a few steps back. He really couldn't resist this extremely strong thrust.
At this time, Aini slowed down again.
In previous exchanges with the farm owner Lao Te, he had noticed something was wrong with the farm. Su Mingan's too slow killing speed had made him confused, and the opponent's speed of action and the inexplicably low damage did not look like a disguise. He was full of doubts.
The main reason that made him look back was... behind Su Mingan, the person who was suspected to be the first guide did not follow him.
He wanted to test it out, but Flora still held on to him and refused to let go. Together with the running Lao Te, their figures ran further and further into the night...
Hiding behind a tall haystack, Aini couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart.
"Old Te, we have a good relationship, right?" He stretched out his hand and put it on Old Te's shoulder.
The panting Lao Te reluctantly nodded. Aini had given him a lot of favorability points before.
"As for the question just now, can you continue to answer the question? Are there any special circumstances in this festival...?" Aini said: "For example, the ghost of Nine Gods is not very strong. This situation?"
"There is such a special situation." Lao Te was a little scared, and directly poured out everything he knew: "For example, if a person is selected as the ghost of Nine Gods, he is born with the breath of Bai God. Jiu God will He will not be favored..."
"Really?" Aini and Flora looked at each other, their eyes full of joy.
Flora was more cautious. She asked Lao Te: "In this case, will the other party's strength be..."
Halfway through her question, her eyes suddenly froze, and her whole body froze in place as if frozen. On her head, a transparent scale pattern was faintly visible.
A figure suddenly appeared beside her. With a raised finger, a black light appeared——
…
[Currently surviving "Black Lamb": 9/12 people. 】
…
It was easy for Su Mingan to kill Flora, whose strength was weakened by half. Under the prerequisite of trial, Flora couldn't react at all.
"——Su Ming'an!" Looking at Su Ming'an who suddenly moved to his side, Aini shouted. Hetos had quickly rushed to his side, and the golden flames turned into a barrier, completely protecting him.
"I discovered your secret, Su Mingan!" Aini shouted.
"Found it?" Su Mingan said, "Then spread the news. You don't have the skills to transmit it remotely, right?"
Aini's expression froze slightly. In fact, he really didn't.
He chose [Agile Perception] and [Concealed Color], both of which were used for evasion. Neither of them could contact other people.
"I found your secret, don't worry, I won't tell it out for now, how about we make a deal?" Aini looked at him with a confident attitude.
Aini is not panic now. Hetos is already guarding him. The strength of this fire controller is quite amazing. He is confident that Su Mingan, who has been weakened by half, cannot break through.
"What deal?" Su Mingan said.
"I found a secret escape passage in the venue. After all the other Black Lamb players die, the last remaining person can escape directly through the secret passage and still get the reward of two silver stars." Aini said: "And as long as you prevent the door from being opened, you will win. In this way, we can achieve a 'win-win'."
"You mean, we cooperated to hunt down other Black Lamb players, and you finally escaped through the secret escape tunnel?" Su Mingan smiled: "You really trust me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you together in the end?"
"I trust the hundreds of millions of viewers behind you." Aini pointed to the air behind Su Mingan: "You shouldn't break the contract in front of so many people."
"..."
"How about it? Everyone else is a competitor anyway, why not cooperate with me in this dungeon to eliminate them?" Aini spread his hands, he was very confident in this proposal: "Where is your leader? That shouldn't be the first one. A guide, otherwise you wouldn’t kill so slowly.”
"Before, didn't you want to show me the secret of fire?" Su Mingan suddenly said this.
Aini also remembered his harsh words at the comic exhibition before, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
If he were the ghost of Nine Gods, he would have killed Su Ming'an in front of him long ago, but he is not now, and has been weakened by half of his strength. He proposed cooperation because he was not sure whether Hetos could defeat Su Mingan.
If the cooperation he just proposed could be achieved, he could run, and Su Ming'an could win, and eleven fewer competitors would be eliminated. This situation couldn't be better, and he couldn't think of a reason for Su Ming'an to refuse.
"The secret of fire... can be witnessed to you later." Aini coughed: "We can survive first and wait until the final step. After all, there is no one more suitable to reach an agreement with you than me."
As he was talking, he suddenly saw Su Ming'an raise his hand.
Aini's eyes were stunned, and a transparent scale pattern appeared uncontrollably on his head.
The next moment, Su Mingan broke into the blazing flame barrier and slashed at Aini's head with a knife. His movements were extremely fast, leaving no time for anyone to speak. Even Aini didn't react.
Hetos next to him immediately summoned flames, and extremely hot dark gold fire surged out of his body. A bright and hot river of fire jumped up like a giant whale, bypassing Aini and rushing straight towards Su Mingan.
Su Ming'an faced the flames and kept walking. The extremely hot wind blew his black hair. The firelight illuminated the corn field like daylight. He raised the long black knife in his hand——
【HP-1280! (Weakness attack!)]
A bloody damage value jumped up.
This injury jumped out from Aini's head.
The long knife attached to the annihilation penetrated Aini's shoulder. With one pull, the knife cut across the heart of Aini's left chest and even to the lower abdomen. Wherever it passed, the muscles, blood, and skin disappeared as if evaporated, leaving only A deep black line.
And the arrogant flame passed through Su Ming'an's hair like a warm wind, gently blowing up his robe, and then there was no movement.
A faint film of light adhered to Su Mingan's body, covering his entire body, preventing the flames from the outside from hurting him at all.
"You——!" Aini came back from his dizziness and noticed that the god of death was already in front of him. He immediately wanted to retreat, but found that a hole had opened in his body at some point, and his wound was melted by annihilation. , even his blood gushes out slowly.
Blood spread all over his upper body, severe pain came from his heart, and he was shaking as he stepped back.
Aini was almost dumbfounded.
——He knew that Su Mingan was resistant to flames, but Hetos's flames were completely different! This is the primordial fire, a flame with ceiling-level power. How could anyone be completely immune to fire... This is too outrageous!
However, Su Mingan is so buggy in his shadow state. As long as it is an elemental attack, as long as the opponent's mental points are less than 130 points, no matter how powerful it is, it will not pose any threat to him. This is an absolute defense in terms of judgment. Even Su Mingan himself was a little surprised by Huo Yuan's astonishing level. He really didn't get hurt at all and just rushed over.
In this way, he completed the combination of Aini and Hetos. The other party really lost unjustly.
"Su Ming'an - are the terms of my deal bad?" Aini also tried to save it: "You guard the door and I will take the escape route. We can work together to kill others. Why are you unwilling -"
He really couldn't understand why Su Ming'an rejected him. If Hetos could join, it would definitely ease Su Ming'an's current embarrassing strength level.
Su Ming'an stepped forward and pressed down the weak Aini's shoulder with his left hand to prevent him from escaping backwards. He raised his right hand high——
The golden flames burned, and the long sword in Su Mingan's hand was unprotected. It was burned and melted by the gorgeous flames. His hand holding the hilt immediately moved to the sword body.
"Because someone has already taken a step ahead of you and proposed this cooperation." Su Mingan said:
"Goodbye, Mystery of Fire."
Aini's pupils narrowed.
Flames danced and rose before his eyes.
Under the beating flames, Su Ming'an's palm protecting the sword spread out, revealing a sharp sword tip that had not been melted by the fire.
The tip of the sword was facing Aini.
Just as Ani was about to retreat, the tip of the sword suddenly moved forward and stabbed into his throat in an instant!
【HP-218! (Fatal injury!)]
Bright red numbers jumped out.
The smell of scorching flames filled the space between the two of them. Su Mingan was holding a sword tip and looking at Aini who was covered in blood.
The leaping flames rose up on his body, but they could no longer hurt him.
In the depressingly silent farm, the sword blade in his hand turned into molten iron and melted.
"Su Mingan, you..."
Aini, who was clutching his throat and slowly falling down, suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.
...It seemed that a long time ago, he had experienced something similar.
